Abstract: A material for reversibly storing hydrogen is formed from a lightweight matrix which is chemically and structurally modified to improve its hydrogen storage properties. The utilization of a material which can be any of a number of different disordered structures makes possible the modification of local order chemical environments of the material to increase hydrogen storage capacity and/or improve absorption and desorption properties. Lightweight modifier elements structurally modify the local chemical environments of the matrix to provide a material having an increased density of storage sites to increase hydrogen storage capacity. Transition and rare earth modifier elements structurally modify the local chemical environments to provide a material with an increased density of catalytically active sites for dissociating hydrogen molecules to increase the rate at which hydrogen absorption and desorption can be accomplished. The transition and rare earth modifier elements also structurally modify local order chemical environments to provide sites which store hydrogen atoms at lower bond energies to significantly reduce hydrogen desorption temperatures.

Abstract: Disclosed are a thermoelectric device and method of making the device. The device has a plurality of thermoelectric elements electrically in series and thermally in parallel, where the individual thermoelectric elements have a thermoelectric body formed of macroscopically disordered material with electrical contact surfaces at opposite ends and a multi-layered diffusion barrier coating on the electrical contact surfaces.
